Straight from the can! This was the first one I poured and was exceptionally foamy (as you can tell), but every one since has looked like a more traditional Guinness w/ a little less foam (see attached picture). Really an amazing brew. I fermented for 19 days, with the first few days being on the low end of the recommendation (probably around 64 degrees); then conditioned at around 68-70 for 4 weeks. Used bottled spring water. Just brewed the St. Patrick's Irish Stout Deluxe refill which should be ready by Super Bowl Sunday.

It really is great! I have one 740ml bottle left that was conditioned for about 7 weeks that is in my fridge and I don't want to see it go!

I just bottled the other night the St. Patrick's Stout Deluxe Refill. The sample was promising -- sweet roasted chocolate with a hint of black licorice. This will be my first actual stout brewed from Mr. Beer so I'm hoping for the best!
